FALL Registration is OPEN!

The craziness of the summer has finally slowed down and routines are being established.  Ready to get serious, lose some of those extra pounds, and WOW your family and friends this holiday season?  Let us help you!

Join us for an ALL WOMEN's biggest loser competition starting Friday, September 20th and ending November 15th .   


What?
*An 8 week online competition with weekly accountability.  
*Weigh-ins (ie. pictures of your scale) must be submitted via text or email every Friday morning before 10am in your individual time zone.  
*If a contestant fails to turn in weight by 10am on a weigh-in day (for whatever reason...travel, busy day, etc.), they will be out of the running for all final cash prizes.
*Results will be calculated in percentages lost, not pounds.
*Each week, the two or three bottom competitors for the week (depending on how many are participating) will be moved to an "At-Home" status.  These competitors will no longer be in the running for the top $ prizes, but will continue to compete. The winner of the At-Home group will also take home a cash prize. 
*In addition to the final prizes given out at the end of the 8 weeks, contestants can compete in weekly challenges for a chance at winning a $10 gift card. 

*Note: Each contestant who wishes to be eligible for the prize money must take a before and after picture.  These will be required before prize money is given out! 


Why?
*You can't put it off...you now OFFICIALLY have a start date
*Support group of awesome women who understand what you are going through!
*You will have unlimited access to the private blog and private Facebook group.

How?
*Officially register by sending $30 (or $31.17...see "*NOTE" below) through PAYPAL to skinnyminnyclub@gmail.com (We are only able to accept funds via paypal.  If you don't have a paypal account, it is super easy to set up and use.)

A couple of things to keep in mind:


1) When paying through paypal, please send the payment as a "sending money to family or friends" payment.  This will help avoid other fees.

2) Many people have a different email address for their paypal account and their personal email.  PLEASE put your full name and your personal email address in the comment section of your paypal payment.


*NOTE If your paypal is funded through your bank account or a previous paypal balance, there is no fee associated with your transaction.  If your paypal payment is funded through a credit card, there is a $1.17 fee that will be added on our end, which you are responsible for.  Please add that $1.17 to the payment that you send.


**IMPORTANT:**  Your spot will only be reserved once the money has been received...just letting us know you want to participate won't be enough to secure your spot.
*Breakdown of the fee:
$20 will go into the prize money pool (Prize amounts will vary depending on the number of participants and will be announced shortly after the competition begins.)
$10 will be split between your 2 hosts for the time and work put in to make this competition run smoothly.


Anything else you should know?
*You can choose whatever diet or weight loss method that you like...except for surgery and drug based weight loss pills.  
*If you have recently had a baby, you have to be at least 6 weeks post-partum to participate.

*If you need a refund on your money (due to pregnancy, sickness, etc.), it must be done BEFORE Wednesday, September 25th.
*Prize money varies from round to round depending on the number of participants.
*Once you have taken 1st place in a round of Skinny Minny, you are no longer eligible to participate for a cash prize.  You may however still compete, stay accountable, and be eligible for the weekly drawings.

Maintenance Minny

This group is for you if you want to be accountable and maintain your current weight!

*Maintenance Minny runs the same time frame as the Skinny Minny competition.  Summer round begins Friday, July 12th and runs through September 6th.

*$30 pay in - $20 into the "Maintenance Minny" pot and $10 will be split between the hosts for facilitating the competition.

*Competitors are eligible to compete in weekly challenges along with the regular Skinny Minny contestants.

*Competitors turn in a weekly weight every Friday (via text or email) BEFORE 10am in their individual time zones.

*At the end of the round, any "Maintenance Minny" competitor that stays within 5 pounds of their starting weight (or loses weight) AND has turned in their weight on time each week during the competition will split the pot with other eligible contestants.  (This means that if you stay within 5 pounds of your start weight and turn in your weekly weight on time each week, you are guaranteed at least $20 back at the end of the round...with the potential to earn more.)

*Officially register by sending $30 (or $31.17...see "*NOTE" below) through PAYPAL to skinnyminnyclub@gmail.com.  (We are only able to accept funds via paypal.  If you don't have a paypal account, it is super easy to set up and use.)
